There Goes My Heart

Brook Benton · Other Songs - Brook Benton

There goes my heart, there goes the one I love

There goes the girl I wasn't worthy of

There goes my happiness, it couldn't be

There goes somebody else in place of me



Goodbye romance, it couldn't last somehow

I had my chance but it's all over now

I never thought that she could pass me by

There goes my heart and here am I



I never thought that she could pass me by

There goes my heart and here am I
